After suspending {to-ram,to-disk} my webcam LED turns on and remains on until I open an application that uses my webcam and close it. Also, pluging *any* usb device and unplugging it, makes the led get turned off. I'm not really what relevant information may be useful here. I only started using suspend/hibernate a few months ago, and it's always happened. kernels from 2.6.39.1 to 3.0.0 all present this issue. pm-utils is version 1.4.1 I've seen a similar bug report on Ubuntu's Launchpad, with no aparent solution. This really makes me unconfortable since I don't know if the webcam is really in use or not. This is a Compaq Presario C700. I'm not sure how to provide more relevant hardware information. I'll provide any aditional details you may need (but I'm not sure what those are right now). If this is the wrong place (Product) to report this, please advise. Thanks.

It's great that the kernel bugzilla is back. Hugo, Can you please verify if the problem still exists in the latest upstream kernel? If yes, please provide the info requested in comment #3.
I'm sorry for the really (REALLY) late reply. I've just tried this today with kernel 3.3.3, and the issue seems to be gone. When I suspend-to-{ram,disk}, the webcam LED turns on, and when I resume, it turns off by itself after a few seconds.
